Who in their right mind believes 'We’ve heard from people that they want an easy way to discover relevant content from pages they haven’t connected with yet.' You've heard this from... people working at Facebook?

Is that the correct phrasing? It would imply that a fool that never wins and never quits should quit... but if quitters never win this fool would be sure to not win once they've quit.

There definitely is a gap but not in the way I think you meant; in case you were not aware, mobile games are now the biggest market segment of video games period (console, PC included)

Using phrases like 'all built with', 'all have to start out as free', and so on, is fairly inaccurate. There are plenty of apps that run native, cost money upfront, and are still viable, profitable businesses.

That doesn't make much sense. A good comparison would be to look at big Telecom. A handful of large companies both build out the infrastructure and then sell their services to the public. Why would building energy infrastructure be any

Thank you for those (and the first link especially). That's more in line with what you said originally. That said, it is a bit suspect that it's always the same reporter writing about this topic. I'll have to dig into this so

The link does not compare running versus other forms of exercise. It compares running vs no exercise. "Running increases neurogenesis[1] more than anything else." is not a finding in the article.

In reality there are also two kinds of end users. Those who want websites to perform like apps and those that want them to be focused on readability and (mostly text) content only. Website owners/designers/what have you must figur

What criteria determines who should get a position then? What salary should those positions command? Sounds pretty handwavy. Edit: responders to this comment seem to miss that the parent comment is suggesting Google hire new individuals and

Just wanted to point out- 350 cal/hour is inaccurately low for even light exercise, and exceptionally low if you are overweight. Properly doing exercise and keeping at it won't result in joint pains or aches, and may also uplift y

I imagine that the best thing to extrapolate from this is to learn from your own failures, but make those punches hurt only a little. So that if you mess up, you can still move on. Advisors could say what things to avoid, but then offer a p

Also, interested to see what happens when characters are non-animals and non-human.. I would guess the results might be similar.

The findings are interesting but perhaps the reason authors choose to include anomorphic characters is because those sell better? 'Oh my son/daughter loves [animal], I'll get this book rather than this one about human kids&#x

Some people value convenience over other things. Apple certainly lot believes that's what their customers value more.

You seem to forget you can still have wired headphones connected through the USB c port. It's just the standard jack that's gone. It's not wireless or jack as the only options. Personally I've loathed wired for almost 8y

It's stuff like this that severely damages the little credibility the govt has with respect to using taxpayer money. So few politicians are incentivized to save money, those who are cut costs in 'unneeded areas' like educatio

I think this is very incorrect. Companies are not not building for the student. It may very well be true that companies can be guided by other factors (businesses do need money to run), but it's not that they are not looking at stude

People lie on a spectrum of ability. An app that works with 5 year olds that have a knack for programming will work well with 8 year olds who may not. Striving for an app that's approachable at any age is the real goal.

The point I want to stress is that text is keeping kids from coding. Like I said, even with punctuation-less text, the game was deemed difficult. Simpler and forgiving syntax simply would not help. The IDE in the game is actually extremel

OP here. So yes, we could have gone the "move up" route. In fact, we did at one point! Even then though, icons were far and away less intimidating. The problem is, real programming languages don't eschew punctuation, Logo inc
